Hold your tongue

got to learn sometime, though I think I will never learn. Based off a conversation I had with my dad after an arguement

Hush darling, hold your tongue,

Choke back those evil words

Those childish, soon-be-regretted words

Remember your control

Don’t give in to the emotion

Anger is an ugly creature

Goading you to lash out.

 

Don’t give in my darling,

Swallow your immature remarks

Hold in the insults out of vain

Forgive those who wronged you

Let go of that hideous emotion

Don’t be consumed by him

Fight the urge to surrender.

 

Remember darling,

Anger feeds off your pain

He benefits no one.

aww thank you so much for the wonderful review! Its hard to admit that I sometimes take things to far when I'm angry but I need to learn sometimes its best to keep my mouth shut though ironically my dad is the same way as me lol :)

I found it difficult to tell if you were addressing yourself or another person. The honesty and conscience of it really leads you.

[C.C. Marx]

It was based of a conversation with my dad as if he is addressing me thx for stopping by :)

[Fuego31]

That makes it even more gripping

Very powerful poem ringing with honesty and truth. Anger only consumes the angry, and resentment only feeds off the hearts of the one who holds it. It affects the others very little, but it can devour our lives and turn us into someone else. A great poem, as always. Thank you for sharing this ^^

[C.C. Marx]

thanks very much for reviewing again, your reviews are always welcome here! being young, I find it hard to control my tongue, after reading your poem "Childish Ways" i believe it is called, I saw alot of myself in there, I need to grow and learn to control

[MachinaWriter]

That is honestly the hardest thing to learn in life. Our pride is our greatest enemy, the thing that finds its way into the core of all our anger. The fact that you see a need to grow and learn is amazing.

We are all growing in life, til the day we die.

[C.C. Marx]

Its true, I understand I have a lot to learn and mature and my pride sometimes affects my decisions....Logic, ration thinking is a struggle for me, I'm an emotional person

[MachinaWriter]

We're all emotional people. Those that seem less emotional, have grown thicker skin. But they only need thicker skin, to hold in the even stronger emotions they hide beneath. Like a river and a dam. The more water and the stronger the current, the thicker dam you need to hold it back. Life will humble you, and the pride will eventually fade away. If you're willing. I can tell you'll do great. The very fact that you acknowledge your need for control means you actually are far more logical than most people are. You're a step ahead, not a step behind. ^^

[C.C. Marx]

thanks for your advice and reassurance, it means a lot. Hopefully patience and maturity will come to me as I grow older, although that seems worlds away, I know its creeping up slowly and before I know it, I will be thrust in a whole new environment

[MachinaWriter]

It happens quite quickly. Keep writing. Its the only way to slow it down. To give you enough time to realize what's happened.

[C.C. Marx]

I will, it seems like such a different life, adjusting from teenage years to adulthood but ironically, we might get older and look different, but we are all still the same kids on the playground, some things in life don't change
